An inspirational pre-match team talk from the ROW President - Gibraltar's JR ensured the ROW sealed victory in a very close fought contest.
Fu Man Kew opened the ROWs account with an emphatic win over The Moanmeister, who had even started his pre-match moan with the official Hoebridge starter!. Deeks also had a moan (what a surprise!) that Keith parred four of the first six holes and was by then already 4 up. He got it back to 2 up but still lost 5 and 3
UFO Commander Straker levelled as Delilah 'wilted' in the Hoebridge heat. Mark shot to 5 up at the turn in a rare flurry of English excitement before Phil pulled it back to 2 up before having the door slammed in his face (very painful) - Finally losing 4 and 3
Supremo Capitano JR eventually burst 'Toyotos' tyres to take ROW 2-1 up. Both players proudly displayed the Titans flag (Thanks Deeks) on the back of their buggy but there was a near calamity as it was taken out by a tree on the 10th. JR has been censured and is taking bus driving lessons to ensure he checks height of vehicle before driving under trees. For the future there was a proposal (passed unanimously) that Il Presidente should trail the flag on all future outings. JR played steady golf to win 5 and 4 as Azim struggled with some rather wayward shots including a great shank that came close to landing in a dustbin. Is there a Titan rule requiring players to play their ball 'as it lies' no matter what?
Then along came the penultimate 'Titanic clash - Land of the Giants' of the round...ROW's VP v Eng-ger-lands Captain Slam Dunk, which VP took as he nibbled away at Slams Dunks donuts - tasty!!
Finally the 'last Titanic clash of the day saw 'The closest battle of the day' when the Titans Finance Director 'accrued' a 2&1 victory over ROWs secret weapon Zaphod Beeblebrox (aka Andre) on the 17th. A super and colourful day out was enjoyed by all.

A fantastic result for RoW on the day but in terms of Titans History it is now an astounding 10-1 to the RoW. Todays Financial Times has reported that the Chancellor is proposing a new Act of Parliament that is seeking to refine what is meant by "England". In a controversial interview the Chancellor commented that this is a more important issue than Brexit as he has to do all that is possible to prop up the English economy which has taken a huge confidence dip following this defeat. Outline proposals include:
1) changing the national anthem to something more rousing - Max Boyce has been contacted to dream up something involving leeks, shamrocks and Neeps n tatties
2) Some boundary alterations - which sees the Scottish border moving to Loch Ness, the Welsh border moving to the Isle of Man and the Northern Ireland border moving absolutely nowhere!
3) And a £3m grant to the Titans coffers for 2018 to be used to recruit new English talent. Graham Nash, speaking again from his yacht in Monaco welcomed the announcement very much.

The RoW super weapon and captain - JR - Flagtastic
